Some are meek weak. They pretend to be what they are not hoping no one will call them out or challenge them. They stay away where they're safe because they are really terrified of their own shadows.
Is trump such a one as that? What would happen if his buffer zone entourage protective walls were stripped away and he had only himself to rely on to save himself? It's hard to imagine but try. Do you see him standing up to an adversary on his own all alone without others to spokesmouth for him or lie for him or defend him or protect him or deny for him? His survival would be comletely dependent upon him. No Marines to the rescue. No bodyguards no Secret Service no anyone? Would he sacrifice himself for any of his children or his wife under any circumstances that you can imagine? Or would he save himself and feel no guilt?
